Asbestos garage roof removal in Wood Street Village
Asbestos garage roof removal for Wood Street Village properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Wood Street Village and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In a village like Wood Street Village, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Wood Street Village
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wood Street Village, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you are a landlord with garages near Wanborough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Questions from Wood Street Village
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Wood Street Village?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. The work area is kept clear while we’re working. We plan garage roof jobs in Wood Street Village for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
